Tottenham Join Arsenal In Race For Brazilian Midfield Sensation

Tottenham have reportedly joined a number of top European clubs in the race to sign Brazilian wonderkid Casemiro.

It was reported by Gazzetta dello Sport at the beginning of the week that Arsenal, AC Milan, Inter Milan, Juventus and Real Madrid were all keeping tabs on the Sao Paulo midfielder, who is emerging as one of the most exciting talents in South America.

And according to tribalfootball.com, Spurs are ready to join their fierce rivals, as well as Europe's finest, in the chase for Casemiro.

It is thought Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp is eager to recruit the 19-year-old starlet following the success of another recent Brazilian recruit in Sandro.

Redknapp is reportedly ready to move quickly and lodge an offer in the January transfer window to beat the competition, particularly as reports in Italy claim AC Milan have sent scout to Brazil to watch him in action.

Casemiro has caught the eye this season following a number of highly-impressive displays for both club and country.

He was an integral part of the Brazil team at the Under-20 FIFA World Championship and made his senior international debut earlier this season.
